I've said this before and I'll say it again: @alexismadrigal and @kissane are among the best humans I've ever, ever met. To have worked with them on this project has been the highlight of my career and one of my greatest joys.

1/ Dengue fever, a disease transmitted by mosquitoes, illustrates the potential for climate change to promote disease outbreaks. We dug into the many ways changes in the earth’s climate have changed the incidence and severity of dengue around the world. 🧵rockefellerfoundation.org/bl…

The Increasing Burden of Dengue Fever in a Changing Climate

1/ Lab-based PCR testing has been the bedrock of COVID-19 data. Now more people are testing at home, if they’re testing at all, so we lose sight of individual-level clinical data. Wastewater surveillance (WWS) can help plug the gaps, if it’s done right. rockefellerfoundation.org/ca…

Every day there seems to be a new headline about how well vaccines work (or don’t work), but what exactly do they mean? Tightly controlled vaccine trials measure efficacy. In real life, vaccine effectiveness is more complicated. 1/7 rockefellerfoundation.org/ca…

Data weirdness??? No way! 😱 Check out the latest in COVID data that requires more explanation from the states.
Pandemic Prevention Initiative@PPI_Insights24 May 2022
Lately, we’ve noticed a strange pattern with breakthrough data—case rates in boosted populations are sometimes higher than case rates in vaccinated (but not boosted) populations. We haven’t seen this trend get the attention it deserves. 🧵👇 1/17

Rates are more useful than raw case counts because they take the size of the relevant population at a given time period into account, letting us evaluate risk levels and see changes over time more accurately. 2/12

Our latest piece for @RockefellerFdn, @PPI_Insights and @pandemictrack, an explainer about the genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2. With @lshultz82 @anthropoco @jonagilmour @jessicamalaty @svscarpino @RickABright
Pandemic Prevention Initiative@PPI_Insights25 Mar 2022
1/ SARS-CoV-2, like all viruses, continues to evolve as it circulates through a population. The more chances it has to replicate, the more chances it has to mutate, resulting in more genetic variation. How do we sort it all out?rockefellerfoundation.org/ca…

11/ As we learn to live with COVID-19, managing this pandemic means relying on multiple layers of protection–a true combination of NPIs like masking, test/trace/isolate programs, vaccines, and treatment therapies to lower overall infection and fatality rates. Image: @MackayIM

@CDCgov’s new data tracker, and recent media reports, have generated a lot of buzz around wastewater surveillance. Wastewater data can fill critical gaps in global surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 independently of health systems. 1/9
